Extraordinary design - of the mind-boggling examples shown, definitely in the top three! How many other films, I wonder, have such a uniformly brilliant set of poster designs?

To: [email protected] Joern That is a truly wondrous poster, and if there is any justice in the world you will receive an outrageous price for it! I would sure like to think a museum would purchase it and exhibit it for all the world to admire. Best of luck.

We are thrilled to announce that we have a very rare, original poster for the landmark film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari in our live and live online poster auction on November 3, 2012 in San Francisco (lot 97). The poster is a true gem in that it is a German sheet from Berlin that has never been seen before. Only few original posters to the film are known to exist worldwide. In the last 20 years, only two Dr. Caligari posters have been offered for sale – both of them foreign sheets. The poster by Fritz Rotstadt has never appeared on the market and is the only German work known in addition to two posters by Ernst Ludwig Stahl and Otto Arpke. The poster will be offered with an auction reserve of $42,000 and an estimate of $100,000. A blog about the Caligari poster can be found at http://posterconnection.wordpress.com/2012/10/10/the-cabinet-of-dr-calilgari-the-posters/ The November 3 sale also features a few Russian avant-garde film posters from the 1920s as well as a rare 1932 Ben Hur Austrian 3-sheet (lot 103) with stunning graphics and a 1924 German sheet for Intolerance (lot 105) For questions about this sale, please contact Joern Weigelt at PosterConnection via email or at www.posterconnection.com.
